feat(tui): add a Jobs section; fix task_size and db_uri passthrough

[justinrmiller]

Adds a Jobs section to the TUI alongside Tables — and two silent config-passthrough bugs that surfaced while building it.

Jobs section

j lists recent jobs newest-first across every status, with a tally on the section header (Jobs — 1 RUNNING · 2 DONE). Selecting one shows the full record: status, target column, elapsed, a progress line, the launch config, every metric, and the complete event log — which, since geneva has no streaming log API, is the log. f follows a running job by re-reading the record every 3s and stops itself once the job goes terminal (the TUI equivalent of jobs tail).

0e2512d7b2034a1e97738b318ec169bb  DONE · video_clips.embedding · elapsed 0:00:10
progress: rows_committed 89/89 (100%)  tasks_completed 1/1 (100%)  fragments 1/1 (100%)

That progress line is curated on purpose: geneva attaches ~35 metrics to a backfill, most of them timers with a zero total. progress_summary() keeps only the ratio-shaped ones and prefers the three that read as progress. The full set stays in the scrollable detail below.

Record reading and formatting moved to core/jobs.py, so the jobs CLI and the TUI render identically and can't drift; ops/jobs.py sheds ~120 lines. The mode control also drops its auto entry — in an interactive app there's no command line recording what you picked, so the control should name the backend you're actually on.

fix: task_size was dropped on every local run

core/backfill.py kept task_size in the remote-only branch, on the premise that the local NativeTable API lacks it. That premise is false in geneva 0.14: NativeTable = Table is a plain alias, there's one backfill implementation, and task_size reaches run_ray_add_column(task_size=…) either way.

Verified by task count rather than by reading signatures — 40 rows, differing only in --task-size:

	--task-size 8	--task-size 40
before	4 tasks	4 tasks
after	5 (⌈40/8⌉)	1 (⌈40/40⌉)

Before, both landed on geneva's default sizing; the flag did nothing. This affects every step going through backfill_column under --mode local — the laptop path, where an oversized task on a slow UDF is exactly what trips the stall watchdog. use_cpu_only_pool stays remote-only: it requests a CPU_ONLY_NODE Ray resource that a local cluster never advertises, so the tasks would sit unschedulable.

fix: a scheme-less db_uri silently became a local database

geneva reads any uri that isn't db://… as an on-disk database created relative to the working directory. So a bare --db-uri smoke gave you ./smoke/ while you believed you were on the cluster — the source of the stray database directories that were showing up as untracked files.

normalize_db_uri() now restores the scheme and logs it:

WARNING db_uri 'tts' has no scheme — using 'db://tts'. geneva would otherwise have
read it as an on-disk database and created ./tts here instead of connecting to the cluster.

Object-store uris (s3://, gs://, az://) and explicit filesystem paths pass through untouched, as does everything in local mode where db_uri is unused. The override was previously applied by assigning onto the returned Config at five separate call sites, each of which would have bypassed normalization — so --db-uri now resolves inside load_config() and no path can skip the check.

Also

• .gitignore covers stray local database directories. Not by name — the name comes from config.yaml, which is itself gitignored — but by the structural markers every geneva database contains (__manifest/, …___system$geneva_jobs/). Verified no currently-tracked file becomes ignored.
• The TUI's db_uri field is hidden outside enterprise mode, where geneva ignores it.

Testing

Coverage goes to 100% line and branch (from 97.06%), 305 tests passing, ty diagnostics unchanged at 22.

Beyond covering the new code, this adds regression guards for both fixes — task_size surviving the local backfill path, --db-uri reaching a generated CLI normalized, and all three ops CLIs forwarding db_uri_override (parametrized, so it can't silently regress in just one). It also closes five pre-existing partial branches in untouched modules, each a real edge rather than a number: even-division batching, no-jitter retry backoff, the runtime_session fallback for when geneva's private ray_cluster moves, skip_null_video=False, and deleting from an empty UDF library.
